Recommend some relaxing jazz?

Can anyone recommend me some super mellow relaxing jazz?

I've been listening to Space For Two by Oakwood Station and would like more of the same kind of thing before I do it to death!

Thanks :) ✌️

Amazing, interesting, and relaxing jazz. You can thank me later.
I tend to like jazz that leans more latin, like Chuck Mangione or Arturo Sandoval. They're both typically a little more upbeat than the example you gave, but of the two Mangione is definitely chiller than Sandoval, some of Sandoval's stuff gets pretty frenetic.
- Chuck mangione soothes my soul
  
  The Flugelhorn is such a beautiful instrument! I almost had a chance to play a solo on one in my high school marching band, but the first chair trumpet stole it from me, lol.
Something like Hank Mobley's Soul Station would work, I think
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Nala Sinephro - Endlessness
Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View
My Favorite Things - John Coltrane
Kazumi Watanabe ‎– To Chi Ka
Sahib Shihab ‎– Sentiments
Dr. Lonnie Smith - Boogaloo to Beck: A Tribute
Takeo Moriyama - Smile
Sevil - Sevil
Collage - Kadriko
stuff that is basically jazz, even though it isn't actually:
Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe - Ikengas in London
I'm particularly partial to the band Bohren & der Club of Gore, who play "dark jazz". Imagine the kind of jazz you'd expect to be playing at 3am in a smokey, forgotten jazz club where cynical private detectives go to drink away the memories of the one woman who got away.
Its not your traditional jazz, but there is a creator called "take your time" that has been making some great stuff. Here is my favorite, "Jazzy but not too jazzy" Perfect to have on in the background.
- This is ai though, right?
